The dashcam automatically enters loop recording mode after powering on. Videos are saved in the Normal
Video folder at the preset loop recording duration, which can be adjusted in the app (Settings > Recording
Time> 1/2/3 minutes). The Normal Video folder uses up to 50% of total storage capacity. Once this folder
reaches 50% capacity, new loop recording files will automatically overwrite the oldest ones. This feature
ensures continuous recording without the card filling up while driving. Storage is shared across folders—
when other folders have available space, Normal Video can use up to 92% of total storage.
Note: Proper loop recording function depends heavily on the memory card's speed. Please format
the memory card regularly to prevent issues such as excessive files or card aging that may affect
loop recording. For optimal user experience, when using a 256GB memory card, video segments are
limited to 3 minutes. Regularly check loop recording videos to prevent important footage from being
overwritten.
Emergency recording is triggered automatically when the vehicle experiences a collision or impact. The
dashcam detects vibrations via the high-precision G-sensor and locks the current video. When
triggered, it saves a 30-second emergency video consisting of the 5 seconds before the trigger and
the 25 seconds after. Emergency recording can also be triggered manually by voice command: say
"Lock the video" to record an emergency video, or say "Take a photo" to capture a photo.
After emergency recording ends, videos are saved in the Emergency Video folder, and photos are saved in
the Normal Photo folder.
Note: The sensitivity of automatic triggering is determined by the collision sensitivity setting. Higher
sensitivity increases the likelihood of triggering. (Sensitivity settings: APP > Settings > Advanced
Settings > Emergency Video Collision Sensitivity) Emergency video files occupy up to 16% of the total
memory card capacity. When this limit is reached, new emergency videos will automatically overwrite the
oldest ones. It is recommended to periodically review and save important emergency videos elsewhere
to prevent loss.

If no vibration is detected within 5 minutes (adjustable) after the vehicle is parked, the dashcam will
automatically shut down. If vibration is detected after shutdown, the device will automatically power on.
This feature needs to be enabled in the app (APP > Advanced Settings > Auto Shutdown After Parking >
5 min / 10 min / 20 min / Never Shut Down). This feature applies only to vehicles that remain powered
after parking and must be powered via the cigarette lighter (using the included power cable).
Voice commands support English, Japanese, French, Russian, Thai, and Vietnamese. For other
languages, please use English commands.
In addition to controlling the dashcam with buttons, you can also use voice commands to capture photos,
record videos, lock footage, and more. While the dashcam is running, simply say a supported voice
command to trigger the corresponding function.
4.4 Auto Shutdown When No Movement Detected
The recording direction can be rotated 180 ° in the application settings, and the recorded video will be
saved to the album (please note to set it before shooting, as already shot videos cannot be changed).

Parking mode is one of the dashcam's key features, responsible for security monitoring while the vehicle is
parked. It continues to operate after the engine is turned off, providing 24-hour parking surveillance. This
function requires a hardwire kit or OBD-II hardwire kit (sold separately).
Parking monitoring needs to be manually turned on on the APP. When the parking monitoring is turned on,
the parking monitoring icon will be displayed on the screen, indicating that the recorder is currently using
parking monitoring mode. The parking monitoring sensitivity can be adjusted in 1 to 3 levels (Settings -
Advanced Settings - Emergency Video Sensitivity - High/Medium/Low/Off), and you can adjust
according to your own habits and the condition of the car.
Note: To ensure proper operation of parking mode, use a stable and continuous power supply for the
dashcam. In high-temperature conditions with prolonged sun exposure, it is recommended to use parking
monitoring mode without enabling time-lapse recording. When the interior temperature reaches
60°C (140°F), it is advised to turn off the dashcam to prevent abnormal operation due to excessive heat.
When the vehicle is turned off (ACC OFF) and parking monitoring is enabled, the P icon will appear on the
screen, indicating that the dashcam is in parking monitoring mode. Parking monitoring will not take effect
immediately; it requires a 5-minute wait. During this 5-minute period, the indicator light will remain off.
Parking monitoring triggered
When the G-sensor detects that the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes (entering parking monitoring mode),
the recorder screen will display the corresponding icon and automatically shut down. After
shutdown, if the vehicle vibrates or moves, the recorder will automatically turn on and record a 1-minute
video (the duration depends on the setting), and then turn off again to ensure that key images are recorded.
The file is stored in the "Parking Monitor Video" folder.
Recording triggers and device performance
When recording is triggered, the device indicator light goes through a sequence of changes: it turns from
off to red, then stays solid green. The device screen flashes briefly and turns off after one second. After
recording finishes, the device resumes parking monitoring mode, and the screen remains off throughout
Parking Monitoring Activation
4.7 Parking Monitoring (Requires Separate Hardwire kit)
18
When the vehicle ignition is turned off (ACC OFF) and the time-lapse recording function is enabled, the
dashcam screen will display the corresponding icon "T". If both parking monitoring and time-lapse
recording are activated, the screen will show "PT". Time-lapse recording takes effect immediately, and the
indicator light will stay solid green to indicate the function is active. The screen remains off during recording.
This function requires a dedicated parking monitoring hardwire kit or an OBD cable (sold separately).
When time-lapse recording is enabled, it captures at a rate of one frame per second, significantly reducing
storage usage. Once 30 frames are accumulated, the dashcam compresses them into a 1-second video clip.
As a result, 30 minutes of time-lapse footage is stored as a 1-minute video file (saved in the
"Time-Lapse Video" folder).
Note: If the time-lapse recording lasts less than 30 minutes (e.g., 15 minutes), the video file will be
compressed proportionally (e.g., saved as a 30-second video file).
Parking Monitoring and Time-Lapse Recording Enabled Together
When the vehicle is turned off (ACC OFF), time-lapse recording begins immediately. Within the first minute,
parking monitoring will not be triggered. After 1 minute, if a collision occurs, the device will immediately
record a parking monitoring video. Once the parking monitoring video is complete, the device will
automatically switch back to time-lapse recording mode. If no collision occurs, the device will continue
recording in time-lapse mode.
the recording process. Once recording is complete, the device powers off automatically. If recording is
triggered again before the device shuts down, the indicator light repeats the above cycle (off → red →
solid green → power off), while the screen stays dark the entire time.
Attention
Within 5 minutes before activating the parking monitoring mode, if recording is triggered (such as collision),
the device will record regular videos and save them in the "Normal Video" folder. After 5 minutes, if
recording is triggered again, the device will record parking monitoring videos and save them in the "Parking
Monitor Video" folder.
